--I try not to drink too much Bourbon! Really, I carry a small sandbag, a couple of cheap ballheads on clamps, a 3 foot length of threaded rod with one sharp end, and a tee nut on the other, and have My carry straps rigged so I can loop them behind My head and put tension on them. One of the clamps will lock on any of the tubes on the mountain bike, or a small tree branch, the other clamp on the window glass of the Jeep. I get winded easily, and heavy breathing can be a problem. The bike is turning out to be a real rolling camera mount. I found a Slik 5000 tripod in Goodwill the other day, $3.99, new in the box, I would not have paid full retail for it, but it is short enough to strap on the bike, and is steady enough for My light cameras. No one ever rides in the Jeep but My Grandson and I, so We can leave all the junk in the rear seat. There are things down at the bottom that have not seen light in years.
